Monks Lane, Freshwater, Isle of Wight

The moment you enter, the original wood flooring creates a striking first impression, flowing through both reception rooms and highlighting the home’s beautiful period features.

The sitting room is wonderfully bright thanks to dual-aspect windows and includes a pretty working fireplace. Across the hallway, the generous dining room offers ample space for family dining, enhanced by a wood-burning stove set into the original chimney.

The adjoining kitchen provides room for a breakfast area and is finished with oak countertops, a classic butler’s sink and a superb dual-fuel range cooker. Three double bedrooms occupy the first floor, each tastefully styled and showcasing original fireplaces. Bedrooms two and three enjoy lovely Solent views, while a recently updated family bathroom serves the floor with a combined bath and shower. The second floor offers two further double bedrooms, including an ensuite to bedroom five and another impressive sea view. Outside, driveway parking and a detached double garage offer exciting potential for conversion into a workshop or additional accommodation. The garden is low maintenance and bordered by hedgerow for privacy, with a sheltered patio that becomes a perfect summer suntrap. Ideally situated between Yarmouth and Freshwater, this home enjoys the best of west coast living, historic charm, coastal scenery and easy access to spectacular beaches including Freshwater, Colwell and Totland Bays, plus countless country walks.

What the Owner says:

This property was such an imposing house when we first saw it, full of character both inside and out. The home has such stunning and beautiful views out to the Solent. A perfect home to look out to the iconic views of the needles, mainland coast, Hurst castle and beyond. The beach is a few short minutes stroll from the home.

Living at this property for the last twenty-one years we have experienced a tranquil atmosphere and enjoyed the beauty of countryside and village living.

The house itself is full of charm with plenty of space to hideaway from the outside world. The ample sitting room and dining room provide the perfect space for entertaining and hosting family occasions building loving and fond memories. It is time for another family to enjoy this wonderful home and for us to move on!
